    I see where a lot of people are coming from but the way i look at it is, Cameron has every right to value his time at whatever price he wants, If he doesnt want to sell heaps (due to it taking a lot of time to make) then he can make the price higher and whoever is willing to pay will. Hes not strapping anyone down and demanding they buy his cube, He's offering his favourite cube the way he likes it, for the price he wants to sell it for, for those that want to buy it. So if you dont want to buy it............ummmmmm, Dont buy it! If its better than an Elite ( which it may very well be) then its worth anything under 100 dollars. And dont get me wrong I dont just spend my money without thinking about it especially when it comes to cubes and I havent bought one of these as of now. But I sure as hell dont have a problem with Cameron naming his price and offering yet another product that otherwise wouldnt exist.

    So there's nothing special about this stickering/lubing/modding, he's just trying to separate fools from their money. Got it.

    There isnt anything special about the stickering, there is something different about the stickers (Cubesmith) however and I personally prefer buying stickered cubes thats for sure. There obviously is something special about the lubing/working in otherwise it would feel like a normal ZhanChi which I would assume was quite obvious and he quite clearly stated that there is no piece mod and no he isnt trying to "seperate fools from their money" he is naming a price that allows him to not have to make or sell too many as he doesnt have the time which he has also quite clearly stated. If he made them all twenty dollars he wouldnt be able to keep up with demand, so he's named a price that suits his pace in terms of supply and demand. Not that hard to understand really.

    So just to make sure I get all of this, Cameron is selling a 13 dollar cube for 30 because he restickered it, lubed it, and he "Doesn't have a lot of free time." That's completely logical.

    btw You can get a fully lubed and tensioned zhanchi for 16$ on the cubicle.
    Find me by looking for a box with a sticker that says Caution Radioactive Material the sticker is Yellow. Don't worry there's nothing radioactive in the box I put the sticker there just for fun-Womack

    it is a little expensive for a three by three. also he hasn't revealed his technique so u have no idea how it compares

    Then get that lol, whats wrong with Cameron naming his price? He's already sold some so quite obviously someone likes the feel of his ZhanChi over the normal, and thats their choice, its also their choice to buy it. If it felt heaps good and I couldnt get that result anywhere else, I'd consider buying it too. If it felt the same as any ZhanChi then I obviously wouldnt, wait for the reviews and see. Cameron has made a cube that a credible number of people agree feels like no other ZhanChi, so I think Cameron has every right to name his price and if people dont want it, Just dont freaking buy It!!

    Yes, Cameron has every right to name his price. And I have every right to express the opinion that it's only for people with more money than sense. You're the one who made the forum thread/poll about it.

    There are only so many ways to lube a cube, I highly doubt he truly has a new technique. :/

    No I get your guys opinion and although it doesnt seem like it I half agree, I definitely have no problem with anyone stating their opinion at all and i am sorry if I came off like that I did start this thread because I thought myself 60 was steep, I still think it is but I also think each to their own (i.e if people want to buy it good on them) I understand your opinion and quite clearly from the poll, youre not alone in your opinion

    No. Hell, I just spent a little over $60 on just 2 pairs of jeans alone. Even with the price mark down, my money can be spent in better use.
    I fail to see what's so special about his technique and I hope Cameron reveals such information because it could in fact, be special. However, I'm perfectly content with a $13 cube that I take the time to lube and break in myself.

    I'm not knocking Cameron for wanting to sell it though. If he truly believes there are people willing to fork out that kind of cash and those people do so, then good for him. I, as well as many others just aren't willing to pay for a service that one can do on their own for free.
    There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
